PSG 'strongly support' Neymar after Brazilian star accuses Marseille's Gonzalez of racism

Paris Saint-Germain issued a statement on Monday as the club said it "strongly supports" Neymar after the Brazilian star accused Marseille's Alvaro Gonzalez of racially abusing him.

Neymar was sent off during Sunday's clash with Marseille, which PSG lost 1-0 to mark their second consecutive defeat to start the Ligue 1 campaign.

The Brazil international accused Marseille's Gonzalez of racism as he exited the pitch after his red card, which was earned by slapping the defender on the back of the head in a game-ending brawl.
